There's no doubt that breastfeeding infants has its benefits. Few people will disagree with this. However, a topic that does bring about more debate is the amount of time that women choose to breastfeed. How long is too long?

Although most mothers don't nurse their children after their first year, there is a minority of women who do so beyond the year and then some (until kindergarten?).

To each his own, I think...but there are people on both sides of this issue who have more to say...

I agree to each is own, yet nursing mothers judge mothers who choose not to nurse and vice versa. I think if we are all able to respect each other's choices there wouldn't be so much controversy regarding the breastfeeding time line.
